Old Henrys love child.....

Thanks but the 53 came to me mising it's bumpers and grille - I had planned a sinple restoration on it but such is life!!!!!!!!!!
The 57 was a long abandoned build so was ripe for jiggery pokery! LOL

Btw,the 53 cost me £7.50 in Belfast and the 57 was sent from Detroit.

-prime reasons for the custom build....I understand now Nigel.

Well the can idea was not too good as it was an utter pig to bond on - learn something new every day.LOL


tHE FRONT HEIGHT STILL NEEDS ADJUSTING...

Looks good to me.

I would've never thought to graft fenders onto a build .... very creative and well executed. Thanks for posting your build; very, very informative.
